Accountancy and business advisory firm BDO has announced a brace of new hires to its tax risk team.

Salman Anwar joins as associate director for the Midlands and North and brings experience from working in an advisory firm and for HMRC.

And Haris Rehman has been appointed as a manager in the team. He helps clients with HMRC enquiries and started his career as a fraud and investigations specialist at HMRC where he spent five years.

Lucy Sauvage, tax risk partner at BDO, said: “Businesses are facing a myriad of pressures as they navigate the long-term impacts of the pandemic and an increasingly complex tax environment.

“We work with businesses to proactively address gaps in their tax control framework to support their long-term goals, as well as helping clients to respond to HMRC enquiries and investigations in order to reach an effective solution with HMRC.

“Our own team has expanded on the back of our clients’ growth and the resilience of the mid-market. It’s brilliant to announce new hires across the region as BDO commits to attracting the best talent into all areas of the business.”
